This is an example of a very desirable Model 1919A4 fully automatic medium machine gun as manufactured by the DLO Manufacturing Company from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. These were manufactured by using a combination of new-made receiver plates combined with American and or Israeli military surplus components. They were all made by the DLO Manufacturing Company (Douglas Laurence Oefinger) in Stamford, Connecticut. This is a fully functional Browning designed Model 1919A4 medium machine gun chambered in 30-06. Originally designed after WWI and were actually produced by the Saginaw Steering Gear Division of General Motors. They saw considerable service throughout WWII, Korea and even into Vietnam and then were also sold/exported and heavily used by Israel in the early 1940s during their war for independence. They are very well built and extremely reliable and are considered by many one of the best John Browning designed MGs ever. The right side of the receiver has the six-line factory inscription listing both the Saginaw/DLO nomenclature markings. It has the perforated barrel jacket and folding sights. It comes with an original U.S. manufactured ".30 M2" tripod that is stamped with "RIA-1955", and "ANAD 4-72" markings, a rewelded Model 1917A1 tripod with a late-style pintel adapter and T&E mechanism, an original brass/steel belt loading machine with its wooden storage box, 60 original canvas ammunition belts, a canvas tripod/mount cover, an American Seating Company back board, four wooden and one metal ammunition can. This lot also includes approximately four fully loaded canvas ammunition belts. Each belt is marked "250" rounds, totaling approximately 1000 rounds of ammunition. There are approximately 250 rounds with a late FN head stamp and 750 rounds that are marked "OJP III, 61" indicating it was manufactured in 1961 by the Osterreichische Jagdpatronenfabrik (OJP) company in Tirol Austria.
